......!!!!!!!!...................................

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

The integral of x^4e^(3x) we use #14 in the table where p(x)=x^4 p’=4x^3 ax=3x

The formula is

1/ap(x)e^(ax)-1/a * integral (p’(x)e^(ax) dx

1/3x^4e^(3x) – 1/3 *integral(4x^3 e^(3x) dx

1/3 x^4e^(3x) – 4/3 *integral(x^3 e^3x)

Use # 14 again p(x) = x^3 p’(x)=2x ax=3x

1/3 x^4e^(3x) – 4/3[1/3x^3e^(3x) -1/3* integral(3x^2e^(3x)]

1/3x^4e^(3x)-4/9x^3e^(3x)-4/3 *integral(x^2e^(3x)

Use #14 again p(x) = x^2 p’=2x ax=3x

1/3x^4e^(3x)-4/9x^3e^(3x)-4/3[1/3x^2e^(3x)-1/3 *integral(2xe^(3x) dx)

Use #14 again p(x)=x p’=1 ax=3x

1/3x^4e^(3x)-4/9x^3e^(3x)-4/9x^2e^(3x)-8/9*integral(xe^(3x) )dx

1/3x^4e^(3x)-4/9x^3e^(3x)-4/9x^2e^(3x)-8/9[1/3xe^(3x) -1/3 *integral e^(3x) dx

1/3x^4e^(3x) – 4/9x^3e^(3x) – 4/9x^2e^(3x)-8/27xe^(3x) – 8/81 e^(3x) +c

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

The integral is of x^4 e^(3 x).

x^4 is a polynomial, and e^(3 x) is of the form e^(a x). So the integrand is of the form

p(x) e^(a x)

with p(x) = x^4 and a = 3.

The correct formula to use is #14

We obtain

p ' (x) = 4 x^3

p '' (x) = 12 x^2

p ''' (x) = 24 x

p '''' (x) = 24.

Thus the solution is

1 / a * p(x) e^(a x) - 1 / a^2 * p ' (x) e^(a x) + 1 / a^3 * p''(x) e^(a x) - 1 / a^4 * p ''' (x) e^(a x) + 1 / a^5 * p''''(x) e^(a x)

= 1 / 3 * x^4 e^(3 x) - 1 / 3^2 * 4 x^3 e^(3 x) + 1 / 3^3 * 12 x^2 e^(3 x) - 1 / 3^4 * 24 x e^(3 x) + 1 / 3^5 * 24 e^(3 x)

= ((1/3) x^4 - (4/9) x^3 + (4/9) x^2 - (8/27)x + (8/81) e^(3x) + C

Question: Question 7.3 Problem 7

problem 7.3.7 (previously 7.3.33 1 / [ 1 + (z+2)^2 ) ]) **** What is your integral? **** Which formula from the table did you use and how did you get the integrand into the form of this formula?

.......!!!!!!!!...................................

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Integral of 1/(1+(z+2)^2)

We begin by letting u = z+2

So that du = dz

So substitute in

Integral 1/(1+u^2)

At this point we know that this is the derivative of the arctangent so our answer would be

Arctan u +c which is arctan(z+2)+c

If we need to use the table we would use #24 which says

1/(x^2+a^2) =1/a arctan x/a + c

We would left x=u and a=1 because a is a constant so substituting in we get

1/1arctan u/1 +c

Arctan u +c

Arctan(z+2) +c

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

If you let u = x+2 then du = dz and the integrand becomes 1 / (1 + u^2). This is the derivative of arctan(u), so letting u = z+2 gives us the correct result

• arctan(z+2) + C

Applying the formula:

z is the variable of integration in the given problem, x is the variable of integration in the table. a is a constant, so a won't be z + 2.

By Formula 24 the antiderivative of 1 / (a^2 + x^2) is 1/a * arcTan(x/a).

Unlike some formulas in the table, this formula is easy to figure out using techniques of integration you should already be familiar with:

1 / (a^2 + x^2) = 1 / (a^2( 1 + x^2/a^2) ) = 1/a^2 ( 1 / (1 + (x/a)^2).

Let u = x / a so du = dx / a; you get integrand 1 / a * (1 / (1 + u^2) ) , which has antiderivative 1/a * arcTan(u) = 1/a * arcTan(x/a).

You don't really need to know all that, but it should clarify what is constant and what is variable.

Starting with int(1/ (1+(z+2)^2) dz ), let x = z + 2 so dx = dz. You get

int(1/ (1+x^2) dx ), which is formula 24 with a = 1. The result is

1/1 * arcTan(x/1), or just arcTan(x). Since x = z + 2, the final form of the integral is

arcTan(z+2).

Question: Problem 7.4 Problem 1

7.4.1 (previously 7.4.6). Integrate 2y / ( y^3 - y^2 + y - 1)

.......!!!!!!!!...................................

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Integral 2y/(y^3-y^2+y-1)

We see that the denominator has 4 terms so factor by grouping working with denominator we have

y^2(y-1)+1(y-1)

so rewriting the denominator and bringing the 2 out front we have

2*integral y/[(y^2+1)(y-1)

So now we use partial fractions and will remember to deal with the 2 out front at the end

Ay+b/(y^2+1) + c/(y-1) =y/[(y^2+1)(y-1)]

So to get a common denominator we multiply the first term by (y-1) and the second term by (y^2+1)

So we have for numerator only

(ay+b)(y-1) + c(y^2+1)=y

Factoring we get ay^2-ay+by-b+cy^2+c=1y+0

Y^2(a+c) + y(-a+b) +1(c-+b) = 1y+0

Since the middle term has the y we set –a+b=1 and get

b=1+a

for the other terms we set equal to 0 so we have a+c=0 a=-c c-b=0 c=b

now we have a system of equations to solve

1+a=b

1+a=c

1+a=-a

1=-2a

A=-1/2

A=-c so c=1/2

C=b so b=1/2

Now we go back to 2*integral ay+b/(y^2+1) + c/(y-1) and substitute in values

2*integral -1/2y + 1/2/(y^2+1) + 2*integral .5/(y-1)

Working on first integral factor out -.5

2*-.5 = -1 so for the first integral we have -1*integral (y-1)/(y^2+1)

Let u = y-1 du = 1dy

So for the first integral we have -1*integral u/(y^2+1) which we recognize as –u(arctan y)

Which is –(y-1) arctan y

For the second integral we have 2*integral .5/(y-1) factor out .5 so we have 2*.5 * integral 1/(1-y)

Which is integral 1/(1-y) which we see as ln(y-1)

So bringing the 2 intervals together we get –(y-1) arctan y + ln(y-1)+c

confidence rating #$&*: 2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

Let's integrate just y / (y^3 - y^2 + y - 1), then double the result.

The denominator factors by grouping:

y^3 - y^2 + y – 1 = (y^3 + y) – (y^2 + 1) = y ( y^2 + 1) – 1 ( y^2 + 1) = (y – 1) ( y^2 + 1).

Using partial fractions you would then have

(a y + b) /(y^2 + 1) + c /(y-1) = y / ( (y^2+1)(y-1)) where we need to evaluate a, b and c.

Putting the left-hand side over a common denominator (multiply the first fraction by (y-1)/(y-1) and the second by (y^2+1) / (y^2 + 1)) we obtain:

[ (a y + b)(y-1) + c(y^2+1) ] / ((y^2+1)(y-1)) = y / ((y^2+1)(y-1)).

The denominators are identical so the numerators are equal, giving us

(a y + b)(y-1) + c(y^2+1) = y, or

a y^2 + (-a + b) y - b + c y^2 + c = y. Grouping the left-hand side:

(a + c) y^2 + (a - b) y + c - b = y. Since this must be so for all y, we have

a + c = 0 (this since the coefficient of y^2 on the right is 0)

-a + b = 1 (since the coefficient of y on the right is 1)

c - b = 0 (since there is no constant term on the right).

From the third equation we have b = c; from the first a = -c. So the second equation

becomes

c + c = 2, giving us 2 c = 2 so that c = 1.

Thus b = c = 1 and a = -c = -1.

Our integrand (a y + b) /(y^2 + 1) + c /(y-1) becomes

(-y + 1 ) / (y^2 + 1) + 1/2 * 1 / (y-1), or

-y / (y^2 + 1) + 1 / (y^2 + 1) + 1 / (y-1).

An antiderivative is easily enough found with or without tables to be

-1/2 ln(y^2 + 1) + arcTan(y) + ln | y - 1 |

Doubling the result to get the integral of the given function we have

-ln(y^2 + 1) + 2 arcTan(y) + 2 ln | y - 1 | + c,

where c now stands for an arbitrary integration constant.

@&

The given solution appears at one point to have temporarily forgotten that the integral is for just y / (y^3 - y^2 + y - 1).

Here's the solution as it should have been presented:

Let's integrate just y / (y^3 - y^2 + y - 1), then double the result.

The denominator factors by grouping:

 

 y^3 - y^2 + y – 1 = (y^3 + y) – (y^2 + 1) = y ( y^2 + 1) – 1 ( y^2 + 1) = (y – 1) ( y^2 + 1).

 

Using partial fractions you would then have

 

(a y + b) /(y^2 + 1) + c /(y-1) = y / ( (y^2+1)(y-1)) where we need to evaluate a, b and c.

 

Putting the left-hand side over a common denominator (multiply the first fraction by (y-1)/(y-1) and the second by (y^2+1) / (y^2 + 1)) we obtain:

[ (a y + b)(y-1) + c(y^2+1) ] / ((y^2+1)(y-1)) = y / ((y^2+1)(y-1)).  

The denominators are identical so the numerators are equal, giving us

 

(a y + b)(y-1) + c(y^2+1) = y, or

 

a y^2 + (-a + b) y - b + c y^2 + c = y. Grouping the left-hand side:

 

(a + c) y^2 + (-a + b) y + c - b = y. Since this must be so for all y, we have

 

a + c = 0 (this since the coefficient of y^2 on the right is 0)

-a + b = 1 (since the coefficient of y on the right is 1)

c - b = 0 (since there is no constant term on the right).

 

From the third equation we have b = c; from the first a = -c. So the second equation

becomes

 

c + c = 1, giving us 2 c = 1 so that c = 1/2.

 

Thus b = c = 1/2 and a = -c = -1/2.

 

Our integrand (a y + b) /(y^2 + 1) + c /(y-1) becomes

 

1/2 * (-y + 1 ) / (y^2 + 1) + 1/2 * 1 / (y-1), or

 

- 1/2 * y / (y^2 + 1) + 1/2 * 1 / (y^2 + 1) + 1/2 * 1 / (y-1).

 

An antiderivative is easily enough found with or without tables to be

 

-1/4 ln(y^2 + 1) + 1/2 arcTan(y) + 1/2 ln | y - 1 |

Doubling the result to get the integral of the given function we have

- 1/2 ln(y^2 + 1) + arcTan(y) + ln | y - 1 | + c,

where c now stands for an arbitrary integration constant.

*@

@&

Note also that the integral of 1 / (1 - y) is not ln | 1 - y | but - ln | 1 - y ).

The substitution would be u = 1 - y so that du = - dy, giving you -integral ( 1 / u du) = - ln | u | = - ln | 1 - y |.

Self-critique (if necessary):

### I thought I was following the correct process but it looks like I paired the numerators and denominators differently than the solution when using partial fractions. Also I don’t understand this part of the solution

c + c = 2, giving us 2 c = 2 so that c = 1. I thought that c+c=1 which also made my answer different.

Please let me know what I am missing and also if there is a specific way to line up numerators and denominators when using the partial fractions method????????

Question: Section 7.4 Problem 7

7.4.12 (previously 7.4.29 (4th edition)). Integrate (z-1)/`sqrt(2z-z^2) **** What did you get for your integral?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Integral of (z-1) / (2z-z^2)^1/2

Let u = 2z-z^2

du=-2z+2

-1/2du = z-1

Rewrite

-1/2 * integral du/u^1/2

.............................................

Given Solution:

If you let u = 2z - z^2 you get du = (2 - 2z) dz or -2(z-1) dz; thus (z-1) dz = -du / 2.

So (z-1) / `sqrt(2z - z^2) dz = 1 / sqrt(u) * (-du/2) = - .5 u^-.5 du, which integrates to

-u^.5. Translated in terms of the original variable z we get

-sqrt(2z-z^2).

If you let u = 2z - z^2 you get du = (2 - 2z) dz or -2(z-1) dz; thus (z-1) dz = -du / 2.

So (z-1) / `sqrt(2z - z^2) dz = 1 / sqrt(u) * (-du/2) = - .5 u^-.5 du, which integrates to

-u^.5. Translated in terms of the original variable z we get

-sqrt(2z-z^2).

Question: Section 7.4 Problem 9

7.4.9 (previously 7.4.36) partial fractions for 1 / (x (L-x))

......!!!!!!!!...................................

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Integral 1/(x(L-x))

We use partial fractions

So breaking apart we get a/x + b/(L-x) = 1/(x(L-x))

To get a common denominator we multiply the first term by (L-x) and the second term by x

Getting for the numerators a(L-x) + bx =1

aL – ax + bx = 1

x(-a+b) + aL=1

so aL=1

L=1/a and a=1/L

-a+b=0

b= a so b=1/L

so now we go back to our original expression integral a/x + b/(L-x) = 1/(x(L-x)) and substitute in

Integral (1/L)/x + integral (1/L)/(L-x)

1/L integral (1/x) + 1/L integral 1/(L-x)

1/L lnx + 1/L ln(L-x) +c

confidence rating #$&*: 2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

a / x + b / (L-x) = [ a (L-x) + bx ] / [ x(L-x)] = [ a L + (b-a)x ] / [ x(L-x)].

This is equal to 1 / [ x(L-x) ].

So a L = 1 and (b-a) = 0.

Thus a = 1 / L, and since b-a=0, b = 1/L.

The original function is therefore 1 / x + b / (L-x) = 1 / L [ 1 / x + 1 / (L-x) ].

Integrating we get 1 / L ( ln(x) - ln(L-x) ) = 1 / L ln(x / (L-x) ). **

STUDENT COMMENTS:

I have had some trouble figuring out this section. I couldn't figure out how to break down this denominator to make a partial fraction. Also I do not understand a step in the process in general.

In the #10 class notes it explains another problem: This one is 1/[(x -3)(x +5)]. I understand this part of the notes:

""""We know that when a fraction with denominator x-3 is added to a fraction with denominator x+5 we will obtain a fraction whose denominator is (x-3)(x+5).

We conclude that it must be possible to express the given fraction as the sum A / (x-3) + B / (x+5), where A and B are numbers to be determined.

Setting the original fraction equal to the sum we obtain an equation for A and B, as expressed in the third line.

Multiplying both sides of the equation by (x-3) (x+5) we obtain the equation in the fourth line, which we rearrange to the form in the fifth line by collecting the x terms and the constant terms on the left-hand side and factoring.""

This part I do not understand:

""""Since the right-hand side does not have an x term, we see that A + B = 0""

How did you find that this equals 0?

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE:

The equation for this function would be

• A / (x-3) + B / (x+5) = 1/[(x -3)(x +5)]

To simplify the left-hand side need to obtain a common denominator. We multiply the first term by (x + 5) / (x + 5), and the second term by (x - 3) / (x - 3):

A / (x-3) * (x + 5) / (x + 5) + B / (x+5) * (x - 3) / (x - 3) = 1/[(x -3)(x +5)] so that

A ( x + 5) / ( (x - 3) ( x + 5) ) + B ( x - 3) / ( (x - 3) (x + 5) ) = 1/[(x -3)(x +5)] . Adding the fractions on the left-hand side:

( A ( x + 5) + B ( x - 3) ) / ( ( x - 3) ( x + 5) ) = 1/[(x -3)(x +5)] . Simplifying the numerator we have

( (A + B) x + (5 A - 3 B) ) / ( ( x - 3) ( x + 5) ) = 1/[(x -3)(x +5)]. The denominators are equal, so the equation is solved if the numerators are equal:

(A + B) x + (5 A - 3 B) = 1.

It is this last equation which lacks an x term on the right-hand side. To maintain equality the left-hand side must also have no x term, which can be so only if A + B = 0.

The other term 5 A - 3 B is equal to 1.

Thus we have the simultaneous equations

A + B = 0

5 A - 3 B = 1.

These equations are easily solve, yielding the solution A = 1/8, B = -1/8.

CONTINUED STUDENT COMMENT:

I understand this:

""""we see that therefore 5A - 3B = 1, so we have two equations in two unknowns A and B.""""

I could not figure out how you found A and B as shown below:

Solving these equations we obtain B = -1/8, A = 1/8, as indicated.

We conclude that the expression to be integrated is A / (x-3) + B / (x+5) = 1/8 * 1/(x-3) - 1/8 * 1/(x+5).

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE

The system

A + B = 0

5 A - 3 B = 1.

can be solved by elimination or substitution.

Using substitution:

Solve the first equation for A, obtaining A = -B.

Substitute this value of A into the second equation. obtaining

5 * (-B) + (-3 B) = 1

so that

-8 B = 1 and

B = -1/8.

Go back to the fact that A = -B to obtain

A = - (-1/8) = 1/8.

To solve by elimination you could add 3 times the first equation to the second, eliminating B and obtaining

8 A = 1, so that

A = 1/8.

Substituting this back into the first equation we obtain

1/8 + B = 0 so that

B = -1/8.
